Texas Camp 2019 | Historical Page Load Time Monitoring Using WebPageTest & Drupal | David Stinemetze
Presenter: David Stinemetze
Studies show that page load times directly impact business revenue. Longer wait times result in higher bounce rates, which lead to fewer customers. Free performance monitoring services, such as WebPageTest, allow web teams to measure load times on URLs in real-time to provide rich diagnostic information to identify potential causes of slowness. Drupal can be used for aggregating this data over time to generate historical reports to identify overall trends, and highlight specific system changes that have impacted page load times, both positively and negatively.
